Ozzie G. Engelbart MEMORIAL YOUTH FUND
SPONSORS TWO GIRLS FROM GREAT BRITAIN

July 5, 2002

The Ozzie G. Engelbart  Memorial Youth Fund is pleased to announce that we are able  to sponsor two teens, Joanna and Susanna Karas, to attend youth camp at Camp Heritage in Pennsylvania this August. The Fund is paying for their air fare, which is the largest expense in attending camp in the US.

Joanna and Susanna Karas

The girls have lived all their lives in Gloucester where Joanna was born in 1986 and Susanna two years later. They are the middle two of four children. The oldest brother, David, two years older than Joanna,  The youngest child, Matthew, is two years younger than  Susanna.

In 1991, when Joanna was only five years old, and Susanna three, the whole family were involved in a car crash. Everyone survived with relatively minor injuries, except for their mother, Carol, who was driving. She tragically died of her injuries.  Their father, Edward, quit his career in quantity surveying, to look after Joanna and Susanna and their brothers, with help from grandparents, and aunt and uncle.

They attend school in Churchdown the village between Gloucester and Cheltenham. Joanna's favourite subjects in school are art and physics, and Susanna's are art and recently music. Both are trying to learn to play the guitar.
